Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past vs Red Crimes: Hidden Murders
Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past
Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past is the third spin-off from Pretty Simple's hit investigative-themed hidden object game series, Criminal Case. This time around, instead of being set in the modern world, Criminal Case brings you back into the 80s where you play as a rookie detective on his/her very first case. Search for and collect evidence from the crime scenes, send them for analysis, and accumulate enough proof so you can make the arrest.In a nutshell, Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past is a pretty generic sequel to the Criminal Case series. It offers more of the same in terms of gameplay, but the game is set in a very different world and of course, you’ll get to enjoy a brand-new storyline and interact with a new cast of characters. This game will definitely appeal to existing fans of Criminal Case games and the great thing is you can play this game concurrently with the other Criminal Case game apps.
That being said, there are plenty of criminals in this game that you’ll have to catch in Concordia, so be sure to get right to it!
Red Crimes: Hidden Murders
Red Crimes: Hidden Murders is a crime investigation-themed hidden object game where you assume to role of police chief for the district of Rouxville. Unlike many other similarly-themed games though, this game focuses more on the analytical aspect of the CSI process, producing a host of more entertaining, immersive and sometimes, realistic mini-games for players to enjoy, in addition to the usual routine of scouring crime scenes for pieces of evidences.For instance, in an Autopsy mini-game, you actually get to use various tools to open up the victim's corpse to collect evidence that might have lodged in the body. Even without all the blood, it can still get kind of gruesome for the squemish and thankfully, players are given the option to skip such mini-games if they want to. There is a nice variety of mini-games as well, ranging from puzzle-based matching games to spinning a 3D object around to find tap-able spots.
The game has a simulation aspect as well, giving players to chance to assemble and expand their own police force, send out officers to patrol zones within the district, and even upgrade the police station to unlock new cases, zones and features. The zones offer various minor cases, missions and events that you can complete for extra rewards as well.
If you enjoy playing Criminal Case or CSI-like HO games, Red Crimes: Hidden Murders is one game you wouldn't want to miss. The game's as unique as it is fun - it is definitely worth the download and the time you'll spend on it solving cases.
